You'll get great results with this Black & Decker heavy-duty Edge Hog landscape edger, one of the easiest-to-use pieces of equipment we've come across. You'll be thrilled with how quickly you can get to work, as assembly takes only a few minutes. This is an electric model, so you'll need an extension cord and an electric outlet handy, but you won't have to deal with gas or oil. And it's so quiet you can edge at any time of day--even early Saturday mornings--without worrying about waking up the neighbors.
We found the Edge Hog has plenty of power in its 2-1/4-horsepower motor for both edging and trenching, and it's easy to switch from one to the other by simply raising or lowering the edge guide. The edger weighs only 12 pounds, which allows for easy transportation and great maneuverability around curved paths, but makes it more difficult to maintain a straight line when you're tackling a lawn that hasn't been edged in a while. If you're digging out quite a bit of dirt along with the edge you're creating, it takes some effort to keep the unit stable.
Undoing a screw toward the front of the edger and raising or lowering its leading wheel easily adjusts the depth of the edge groove you're making along with your edge. The unit can also be adjusted to fit the height of the user more comfortably by changing the angle on the guide handle. The blade requires only a pull of the trigger to start instantly and, unlike many gas models, stops as soon as the trigger is released---an important safety feature.
Offering 150 in./lbs. of torque and 4,700 RPM of power, this 2-1/4 HP landscape edger from Black & Decker can help transform your yard and add real curb appeal to your home's exterior. Lightweight yet extremely efficient, the LE750 performs multiple tasks, including edging along hard surfaces like driveways and sidewalks; trenching around garden beds, trees, and borders; and helping to install both outdoor lighting and invisible dog fences. Its 11 Amp motor can handle even stubborn overgrown areas, and three-position blade depth adjustment ensures optimum control as you work. To guard against unintended unplugging while you're working, there's a built-in cord retention system. The LE750 conveniently starts with a simple pull of the trigger and for added peace of mind, it also instantly stops when that same trigger is released.

Buy Cheaper at Lowe's:
This is a good edger if your yard isn't huge. But like my title says, buy it at Lowe's. Just got mine on Father's Day for $69. The list price on Amazon is a little ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, I love Amazon and you can get some great deals but always remember to shop around for the good price.
Excellent Design:
Great piece of equipment. Very well designed. 3 bolts to put it together out of the box and no tools needed. I am very pleased with its performance. I had several areas where the grass had overgrown the walk by 3 to 4 inches. In the thicker areas I had to stop occasionally and move the cuttings out of the way as they were so heavy they were blocking the guide wheels. Now that I'm finished and got the heavy work out of the way, using this again next month will be a piece of cake. My drive looks nice and... more info
If only a zero were possible:
I used this edger for exactly 20 minutes and the motor burned out. The funny thing is that I got this "Edgehog" as a replacement for an old edger - a much less powerful edger - that I had used for over 10 years in the same service. This thing is perhaps the last B&D product I will ever buy. Like an idiot I threw out the box and receipt before I used it - because after all - it's a Black and Decker and I wanted it assembled and ready to use! No refund, no replacement. A word to the wise --... more info
Better edger than a trencher:
We bought this mainly for it's bedding trencher feature. Making a defined border around our many garden beds is hard manual work. The trencher feature on the Edge Hog merely cuts an edge rather than a wider cut I wanted for the beds to keep the grass from encroaching.
It does work nocely though as an edger.
